Hey All
Looking at getting some new Tyres this week, been quoted $250 per wheel for Yokohama A-Drive R1 225/45R17.
Just wondering if this price is any good and also how long i would expect the tyres to last?
Cheers!
Scratch that, no stock - they have S.Drive's for $270 - any help is appreciated as i really have no clue!
i have S drives . there was talk back then on S drives VS bridgeston adrenalins.
I'm believe the adrenalins are more expensive.
anyway, onto the S drives - used them in that same size for around 20,000 kms. GREAT tyre compared to my old ones. so much grip. i have never understeered or oversteered and lost traction! (my car is auto and has no power). They are also apparently a very long lasting tyre, due to the compound of the rubber. Its served me well thus far.
overall, great tyre however i would never pay that much for tyres again. i'm wanting to try a premium korean tyre next - like kumho. see how they go.
Hey guys, not sure if you guys know but if your looking for top brands at cheap prices, we have some specials on,
heres the link to my thread in my trader forum on this specific size

i recently got a set of Pirelli PZero Nero on my 17' rims and they are brilliant. Not cheap but i got them on special ($285 per/corner) and so far so good.
Immediate improvements were noise level and grip in the wet. I was driving with OEM Bridgestone RE040's and they were starting to loose my confidence.
I have the pzero neros on my 17s as well, I've been bit disappointed...
In the wet were better than the RE040s, but not in the dry...
I tested each tire on the track as well, and was easily getting faster lap times with the RE040. Found the side walls on Pirellis really weak and would loose grip when heated up... I've used Pirellis before and have always found the side walls weak, but apparently the rossos are much better, but they cost too much
Bridgestone RE050
Money is no object? RE070. :p
How much are they?what's so good about them?:)Quote:

No idea on price, but they are more expensive than RE01R, which are about $280 in 205/55 R16. LOL If RE070 was made in 205/55 R16, it would be over $280, then tack on 225/45 R17... OUCH!
